Created by Fey and 30 Rock alums Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield, this series draws inspiration from the 80s classic starring Alan Alda, Carol Burnett, Rita Moreno, and Jack Weston. The original film followed three couples who go on a vacation by each other’s side every season until an unexpected divorce deteriorates their plans for a peaceful holiday.

This won’t be the first collaboration between Carell and Fey, but it’s been over a decade since we’ve seen them join forces. While The Office and 30 Rock were still on the air, this duo teamed up for a rom-com Date Night from 2010, directed by Shawn Levy. Despite mixed reviews, the film found box office success, earning $152.3 million against a $55 million budget.

The Four Seasons will mark Carell’s first collaboration with Netflix since his workplace comedy Space Force was canceled after two seasons. His recent TV credits also include Hulu’s physiological thriller mini-series The Patient and the Apple TV+ drama The Morning Show.

Three of the previous recipients – Stephen Colbert, Jerry Seinfeld, and Tina Fey – showed up to pay tribute to this incredible actress, but they weren’t the only comedy stars in attendance. Bryan Cranston, Lisa Kudrow, Tony Hale, and Kumail Nanjiani also made an appearance during the heartfelt and hilarious ceremony.

Most of the artists on hand previously starred alongside Louis-Dreyfus in one of the projects from her impressive resume. They took a look back at her illustrious career and delivered a bunch of hilarious remarks about this celebrated comedy legend.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus rose to prominence back in the ‘80s, as one of the cast members of Saturday Night Live. She became a household name thanks to the role of Elaine Benes in the cult sitcom Seinfeld. Her career entered a new stage when she was cast in HBO’s political satire Veep – a TV show that brought her six Emmy wins in acting categories and another three for producing the series.

The 2004 film marked Tina Fey’s screenwriting debut and immediately became a cult classic. Now, Mean Girls has found second life as a musical, premiering in Washington D.C. this October 31 for a try-out run before coming to Broadway.

Fey began working on the musical adaptation 5 years ago with composer husband, Jeff Richmond. It was actually Richmond who suggested that Mean Girls could really work as a musical. Fey put her trust in him and began adapting her script for the stage.

Taking Lindsay Lohan’s role Cady Heron as the naïve homeschooler turned plastic is Erika Henningsen. Barrett Wilbert Weed and Grey Henson will play Cady’s friendly guides, Janis and Damian. The Mean Girls themselves are a trio of Broadway veterans: Taylor Louderman playing Regina George, Kate Rockwell as Karen Smith, and Ashley Park as Gretchen Wieners.

Fey spoke of the musical’s casting saying “[i]t’s similar to the experience I had with the movie, where you watch someone like Rachel McAdams and you think, ‘Oh, she made this. She’s such a great talent that she’s actually making this more than is on the page’. When you have great actors, like we do now with these young women, they bring more to it than you even imagined.”

In the writing process, Fey revisited the source material she used for the movie: Rosalind Wiseman’s Queen Bees & Wannabes, a self-help book for worried parents and their teenage daughters.

“I tried to remember to stay at the core humanity of it, which is the behavior that comes out of all of us sometimes out of jealousy or fear,” Fey explained. “The great thing about music is it lets you get in people’s heads and inside their emotional lives in a way that you can do with a tight close-up in movies… I think fans will hopefully find that this has the DNA of the movie and is true to the spirit of it, but is also opened up in a lot of ways.”
